So...BORED! I don't know how long it has been since I've been this bored!! I don't know what to do right now. I was good and did my Japanese stuff like way early. Okay, not way early, but last time I did it on Sunday afternoon, this time I did it Friday evening. I think that's a lot earlier. And then I've been playing Pokemon Yellow for a few hours tonight. I was wondering why the hell Sabrina's pokemon were all at level 50 when I didn't have a single one at level 40 yet, thus being unable to see how I was expected to beat her. Well, I then figured out after finally beating her (on the sixth try) that it's because I forgot to go to Fuchsia City first and fight Koga. Not my fault, they make Saffron City right next to Celadon, where I battled right before. But oh well, I have that MarshBadge. Now I need to go fight Koga for the SoulBadge, and then I'll try to remember where you get the Surf HM from and go for badge seven.
And then after battling Sabrina I decided I needed to get a water pokemon up to a decent level. Last game I played, which was Blue a few months ago, I decided to evolve Eevee into Vaporeon, so my water pokemon was taken care of. However, this time I decided I might as well go for Flareon, because I already had Pikachu at a decent level (for the time at least) so I didn't need an electric, and I wanted to use Lapras this time as my water pokemon, so no water. But I already had Charmeleon in my group, but I decided I'd just keep working with him and Flareon (since it didn't know any fire attacks originally) and once I got Charizard I'd put it in my box and keep Flareon. I had dumped Nidoqueen earlier for Flareon. When I first started I caught both a male and female Nidoran, and evolved them both. Then I decided I wanted a Nidoqueen on my team, although I had an extra Moon Stone so I evolved Nidorino into Nidoking to increase my Pokedex. But then I couldn't see the point in Nidoqueen, because she's a poison/ground. She wasn't really overly powerful against anything I battle, and I already had Sandslash as ground (I decided I wanted to level up Sandshrew and evolve it into Sandslash and actually use it instead of just catching one later on. This is mostly because in Blue I had Diglett/Dugtrio on my main team almost the whole game and did it come in handy in tight spots.) However, I didn't know Lapras was only a level 15, so I've been going through the caves to try to get it to a decent level. The first cave I was in I was getting some Geodudes, which were easy KO's but then I started getting a crapload of Zubats, which were annoying me. So I went to Diglett Cave instead and so far I've gotten Lapras up to level 24. That's fine for now, I won't be using it in the next battle. What I need to do now is use Flareon more so it learns some more fire moves (right now it only knows one). But I will need Lapras stronger for Blaine and the VolcanoBadge. And for when I make it to Indigo Plateau I'm going to need Lapras to know at least one ice move, because Lance's dragons are a pushover with ice attacks. I taught it a psychic attack, although whether or not that comes in handy will be determined later. It's strong against fighting pokemon, which is what Bruno has.
Okay...I think that was a bit too much talk about Pokemon. Well...I think everything would be better if subs for episode 7 of Dance in the Vampire Bund would come out already. I gave up about an hour ago and watched the raw. I can understand a little of it, but I need subs. I'm really curious as to what the fight was about, and if he agreed to something or decided to something. Other than that I've watched all my anime for the week, and read chapter 200 of xxxHOLiC. I think I'm going to let the chapters build up a bit before reading, because fifteen pages isn't much. I started and completely caught up last weekend in less than a day.
What I could do right now if start studying for physio, because the test is going to be crazy hard and I need as much studying as I can. I have to know pretty much all 206 bones in the body more or less (not all of the ones in the head luckily) and then where they are inferiorally and superiorally to other bones. And then just the general make up of bones, how their made, the different hormones that make them up and cause bone re-absorption, all that stuff. But I just don't feel like studying for that right now, I hate studying for stuff like that at night. I could study my Japanese, because I have the chapter three test next Thursday, and then the oral is the week after. I always mess up during oral exams, because I tend to have trouble speaking. Of course, it's not like the writing is much better. Mostly because I feel the need to try and be a perfectionist when I can, because apparently handwriting is important in Japan (plus with some of the katakana if you write them slightly differently isn't a completely different sound. I mean real slight differences, like whether or not a line is more horizontally curved than vertically curved.) Although Japanese I sometimes feel like an idiot. I'm getting it slowly, I think that's how I am with every language I've tried to learn. But when they ask us questions in class a lot of the time I just sit there for a few moments trying to make sense of what was said and then answer. I know it, it just takes me a moment. I was supposed to have known all the verbs in the chapter last Friday. I did really poorly on that quiz. But I'm starting to learn them now, I've got down six or seven of them. Same with days of the week. I know two of them right now. But I must say, I love Japanese verbs. There's only three irregular verbs, apparently there is no different future tense, affirmative ones end with 'masu' (or 'ru', 'u' and a the three irregulars if you go by dictionary form) and then negative is 'masen'. Much easier than Italian, where the verbs, with so many bloody irregular ones and then even more of them having irregular future tenses than past tenses and all of that...yeah...
One more thing. My grandma's bad luck with cars has struck again, this time much worse. Years ago, I think when I was a freshman in high school, she got in an accident with the van, which wasn't her fault (some idiot was going way over the speed limit in a residential area and didn't see the stop sign). She came out of that unscathed, along with my cousin who was with her. Then I think it was two years ago, she got in an accident with the PT Cruiser. I don't even remember how that happened. And then a few months after getting a new car she got in another accident (dog caused this one, ran in the road and a car in front of her swerved to not hit it, causing her to slam on brakes and the trunk behind her to run into the back of her car and smash in the trunk and back seat. This one left her and my cousin with some back problems and they were going to a chiropractor.) Well, apparently this morning she got in another one. She was in the way to pick up my baby cousin and she got in an accident. I don't know the exact details, my mom didn't give them to me, but it wasn't her fault again from what she described. The car that hit her made her car turn at least 90 degrees, towards the street my parents live on. She also hit a car that was in front of her after that one hit her I guess. So she was in the hospital with a neck brace on lying down, and my mom said she had a fractured something (wrist maybe?) and that they were going to do a cat scan to see if there was any internal bleeding. And then she called me later to tell me that they were going to release her but she ended up collapsing in the bathroom so she's staying in the hospital. Now I don't find this to be very good news, I'm really hoping she's alright. Her health isn't all too great to begin with, and I keep telling her she's putting too much stress on herself at her age with what she does (read raising my thirteen year old cousin [read doing everything for her because she's a little brat and can't do crap for herself, and whenever she doesn't get her way she acts like it's the end of the world] and taking care of my four year old cousin, who is a complete brat like her sister and demands constant attention, on the weekdays, and doing everything for my grandpa including bringing in the groceries because he's willing to shop for them but not bring them in the house. I've helped her when I'm home. They go through Mountain Dew like crazy, so he usually buys like six two liter bottles each time he goes to the store. Plus he tends to buy milk as well. So she, the woman in her later sixties with a bad back ends up carrying all that crap in, and then putting it away. I can do the entire thing in two or three trips, because I pack a crapload of bags onto both arms.) And I just off the phone with my mom, apparently she was almost across the intersection when the car hit her on the front passenger side, spinning her about twenty feet back. Good thing nobody was in the car with her, because they would have been a lot worse off, if even alive.
Did I ever mention how I'm not talking to my other grandmother? Because I'm not. Actually, nobody is, my mom, dad or brother. I'm not completely sure why they're not talking to her (although I know part of it) but I'm not talking to her because 1) After he had to get her to bail him out of jail, my uncle that was living with her moved out, but kept sneaking back in to first steal all of the money from her giant money jars, which probably had a few hundred dollars in coins alone, not counting all the bills, then stealing various appliances including all the boxes for her TV's, and a bunch of her kitchen appliances. And then he stopped making payments on his truck, so they were garnishing her wages. And then he got kicked out of his apartment, so he was living in his car. And the dealership was going to go take it, but then he'd be living on the streets, so she decided to take him back in. She had already packed up pretty much everything from the house (which she was going to have to move out of because she couldn't afford it. Initially she had bought it because the moron uncle and his hippie wife who cheated on him with some douche wanted a house with a pool, and they agreed to help pay for it. Like that actually held up) but now I guess she's staying there, with that asshole. And so that's the main reason that I won't talk to her, because I feel that stupid people deserve whatever happens to them, it's their fault. Well I managed to take most of his sword collection when he was still moved out, suck on that. I should have taken all his Patriots stuff too so I could sell it on Ebay, he had a lot of autographed stuff. The second reason, which is why I'm pretty sure the rest of the family isn't talking to her, is because of idiot uncle again. A few weeks ago my mom called me and told me that it looked like someone had tried to break into the house, although she was really telling me more about how Frankie had gotten out and she found him scared in the laundry room. But then later she called to tell me how they had the cops there because when my dad got home he noticed that pretty much all his narcotics were gone, including the ones in their bedroom. At least a thousand dollars worth, no doubt. Hmm, I wonder who would break into the house, steal a crapload of narcotics and know that they were not only in the kitchen but also in my dad's dresser drawers, not bother to touch the computer, TV, or any of the game systems, and not alarm the dog when they entered. Maybe someone who knows that my dad had back surgery about a year ago and has all these meds, who the dog knows and thus wouldn't be hostile towards and who got left by his hippie wife and was prescribed depression meds not too long before. Hmm...oh wait, I know who fits that! And then they talked to my grandma about it and she was on that idiot's side, and even had the nerve to accuse my mom's brother. He's had problems, yeah, but he doesn't steal, especially from family. He even asks my grandpa if he can have any meds when he's over at their house. Plus I also believe he is still afraid of my mom being able to kick the shit out of him like she did when they were kids, because I'm convinced she'd totally be able to. It's probably where I get that attitude from. So yes, that is why I'm not talking to her. I feel the need to add that we all agreed that it's a real shame that Mickey isn't still around. That dog was the best dog we've ever had, and the thing that would have been great in this instance is that even if he knew who you were, if you weren't invited into the house by one of the people who lived there then you didn't get in. Mickey dog...I miss him. He wasn't needy like the dumb little mutt, although I admit I'm at least grateful for how attentive Zoe is. When I take her on walks she alerts me of everyone that is like half a block of me.
Still no subs! Grr...alright, I need to find something else to do. Jaa mata!
